cowboy cabinet

a conservative government... the corpse has won. i don't mind the conservatives as much as i dislike harper. he is just such a poor representation of canada, i think. with his extremely poor fashion sense everytime the stampede comes around and he puts that ill fitting leather vest on and his lack of dry canadian wit. as i tend to look at things from a foreign policy and international relations perspective, it worries me to think about what harper will do in terms of bush and the 'war on terrorism.'



i really do think this is going to force the liberals to do some serious rethinking and rebuilding and learn how to be an effective opposition, which will be good in the end. now that paul will step down as leader, i wonder if belinda will make the run. i tend to think so and i honestly think that has been her intention since she first ran for mp. she probably saw that it wouldn't happen with the conservatives so she switched to where she could see a future as leader. i don't know that much about her, but i'd like to see it happen.

should we all start betting on how long this minority will last? i am not good with numbers, but my guess is shorter than martin's government lasted.
